Hoops: College coaching carousel 2025
Apparently there have been Big Cigars who never wanted RT, and there are fans on every website who despise him. I think a fair assessment of RT is that he is a high floor but low ceiling coach, and there is pressure to find a high ceiling coach. What RT will get from a third NCAA appearance is another HC job and a reduced buyout for Texas. He is a good enough coach to upgrade a lot of programs, given some support. He is by all accounts a fine person and I wish him well. If he is asked to remain I hope he is given a bigger NIL purse. If he is released, I hope his successor is given a bigger NIL purse. I would like to see Weaver, Pryor, Codie, Vinson, and Pope come back, regardless. Adding the right portalers and freshmen to that group could create a team with at least some semblance of togetherness from the gitgo. The "right" portalers would include at least one high quality distributor and one high quality BIG, at an absolute minimum, plus the best five remaining players available to fill the roster.

Note on freshman Michael Terry III (Wednesday 5:47 pm CST)
At least while Moore is out try him at slot - he fits the physical model of a Sark slot who can block, catch, and run [Whitt+Moore]. Fits the heavy duty mold better than the slim guys,

And perhaps his balance, as well. He is straight line fast with good hops and timing. He is an average shot. He should not be down in the inbounds corner against a press but out in the midcourt, and he has played enough ball to know that. So situational awareness on O is weak, as well, IMHO.
